Beyond Red and BlueVaccine PassportsHere, we discuss the various arguments surrounding vaccine passports. Additionally, we explore the slippery slope fallacy. Often, the fallacy is used to dismiss an idea. This is detrimental to good-faith discourse and societal healing. Ultimately, we are both left conflicted and unsure of the proper course of action. The one thing we do agree on, however, is the lack of trust people have in big tech companies and the government.
Show Notes:
This article is a good example of someone falling prey to the slippery slope fallacy.
Another example comes from a video...2021-04-161h 19

Beyond Red and BlueDr. SeussWe open with anxiety. Sometimes anxiety comes on quick and is hard to manage. We look at the root cause and try to work through it. Then comes Dr. Seuss, censorship and its place in culture. Beau wrote a poem and then read it aloud.
Poem:
Censorship, Censorship
What have you done?
You took all the books,
How will I have fun?
You don’t need books
By a racist old coot.
We have ones that are fun
And anti-racist to boot!
For if you’re not raci...2021-03-161h 39

Beyond Red and BlueRepublicans F@#ked Up TooLast week's excoriation of Woke Ideology was fun. In fairness, however, Republicans deserve their licks too. Republican politicians are equally guilty of the cultural and political situation we are blessed with today. So, to Republican party leaders, thank you for your power-mongering these past 50 years. Assholes.

Beyond Red and BlueCan Democracy Be Saved?We initially planned to discuss current events but ran with this question. Democracy, and really our culture and standing as a free Republic, is at its boiling point. Can we save it? If so, how? If not, how do we brace ourselves? Please note that we heavily criticize Woke Ideology in this episode and are not sorry about it.

Beyond Red and BlueBenjamin BoyceYouTube sensation and all-around cool dude Benjamin Boyce stopped by for a lovely chat about the Evergreen State College protests as well as their parallels to current events.
Benjamin is a writer, interviewer, and filmmaker exploring the tides and riptides of politics and culture. His principal body of work is a deep dive documentary of a brief yet volatile protest at a small liberal arts college—Evergreen State—in 2017.

Beyond Red and BlueHe’s So Impeached, He's Becoming a Peach!In what will come as no shock to anyone living above ground, our President, Donald Trump was officially impeached this last week by the House of Representatives. This marks the 2nd time in his first term and also marks the only time a President has been impeached more than once. To date, the House has voted on impeachment four times and Trump, the 45th President of the United States, is responsible for half of them (Richard Nixon, technically, resigned before the House impeached him). In another move that should surprise exactly no one, this podcast is dedicated to that...2021-01-151h 13

Remember how the warms thoughts of 2021, a year that can in no way be worse than 2020, lulled you into a peaceful and dreamless sleep? The kind of sleep only babies and cute cats seem to enjoy. Do you remember that? If that was you, then America is the drunk bro who stands up, confidently exclaims, “hold my beer,” belches impressively and then proceeds to show you six days into the new year, just how much shittier 2021 can be. This episode is dedicated to the recent storming of t...2021-01-102h 07

Beyond Red and BluePost Election?While it would seem that we (the people) have reached the end of this election, there is enough confusion and uncertainty that it feels premature to call this, our 12th podcast, a true 'Post Election' podcast (thus the question mark). In this episode, we discuss myriad things relating to the election and how people are handling it. Most specifically, we talk about AOC and the rhetoric she uses when denigrating her own party. Additionally, we contemplate the control Progressives might exert over President-Elect Joe Biden in order to bring out their agenda.2020-11-132h 07
